MW0796 - USCGS 'MANZANITA' Triangulation Station - Modoc County, CA - U.S. Benchmarks on Waymarking.com

I recovered this U.S. Coast & Geodetic Survey triangulation station from 1947 in good condition. It is located at the summit of Manzanita Mountain and nearby a lookout tower. The NGS datasheet and NGS coordinates are adequate for station recovery.

NGS datasheet info:

THE MARK IS SET FLUSH IN A 12 BY 15 INCH BOULDER THAT PROJECTS 3 INCHES ABOVE THE SURFACE OF THE GROUND AND IS STAMPED MANZANITA 1947. STATIONS MANZANITA AND QUAIL ARE INTERVISBLE FROM THE GROUND AND QUAIL WILL SERVE AS AN AZIMUTH MARK. TO REACH THE STATION FROM THE POST OFFICE IN CANBY, GO SOUTHWEST ON U.S. HIGHWAY 299 FOR 14.0 MILES TO A SIDE ROAD LEFT, GO LEFT AS PER SIGN, MANZANITA LOOKOUT STA. 9, AND GO EASTERLY FOR 4.8 MILES TO A FORK AND SECOND SIGN, MANZANITA LOOKOUT 4.
